Finally a new blog post from The Mod Dog

It is completely ridiculous and unreasonable that I have not posted anything new on this blog in over a year. So, I am going to try to start posting more things because I am mad at facebook for not posting my updates to all my followers unless they have The Mod Dog listed as an interest in their feed. So for today I want to tell you...

I am now offering 1.5" plastic buckle collars, for those of you who are interested in the wider collars, but don't like the martingale style. You can now select this in a drop down menu when adding a 1.5" collar to your cart. How exciting! Here are a couple example photos of the wide buckle collars...

The Mod Dog of the month (part 1)

Sorry everyone, I am still so behind on this, so don't think you didn't win if it's been months since you entered.

Name: Frank

Breed: I am a border collie/pit/catahoula leopard mix, I think.

Age: 2 Years

Collar: Breakfast at Tiffany's

More About Frank:

I was picked up on the streets in Merced, and almost euthanized by the Merced Animal Shelter. Just in time, Tri-Valley Animal Rescue found me, and there I was discovered by my new family. I have been with my family for about a year now and I love them as much as they love me! One day they made a mistake and didn't take me to the dog park to run. Just to let them know what a big mistake that was, I broke a lamp and chewed up some stuff while they were gone. To my surprise, they still loved me, and promised to take me to the dog park EVERY day from then on! 

Frank's Favorite Things:

My favorite toy is the kong that I play with at the dog park, and my favorite treat is the dried salmon that mom and dad have been giving me.

The Mod Dog of the month

Sorry everyone, I am still so behind on this, so don't think you didn't win if it's been months since you entered.

Name: Bella  (or Bella Bean as she is known by her family)

Breed: Greyhound

Age: 4 Years

Collar: Breakfast at Tiffany's

More About Bella: 

After a very successful racing career, this beautiful (hence the name)  greyhound went into the Colorado prison dog training program for several months before being adopted. She is now very happy in her new home. She's silly and fun and very, very polite. With her new Mod Dog collar she's even more beautiful, if that's possible, and tres chic and stylish to boot.

Bella's Favorite Things:

Her favorite game is to pick things up from around the house and set them in her bed. No chewing, she just makes a subtle "pay attention to me" statement. And when confronted with the stolen item she looks at you as if to say, "Moi? Of course I had nothing to do with this silly escapade." Her favorite toys are her fuzzy Eeyore toy and any old pieces of cardboard. Her favorite past time: to run. And she truly is poetry in motion. Her most silly feature?  When she gets excited her teeth chatter and you can hear them across the room!

The Mod Dog of the month

Name: Paisley

Breed: Isabella/Tan Dapple Dachshund

Age: 1 1/2 Years

Collar: Duck Season

More About Paisley: "  He does love to play fetch and is currently enrolled in an obedience class where he is progressing nicely.

Paisley's Favorite Things:  Early morning is Paisley's favorite time of the day when he comes in my room and after a few attempts, jumps up on my bed and buries himself in my covers.  He makes a great foot warmer. Paisley doesn't really have a favorite toy because he never has a particular toy very long before he destroys it.

The Mod Dog of the Month

Sorry everyone, I am still so behind on this, so don't think you didn't win if it's been months since you entered.

Name: Tank

Breed: Saint Bernard

Age: 3 Years

Collar: Dino Dog

More About Tank: "I have had him since he was a puppy and he is very laid back and just an all around cool dog. His favorite thing to do is to run while I am on my roller blades and he aspires to one day catch the squirrels in our trees, he spends hours at the bottom of the tree gazing up in all hopes the squirrels will fall." -Kali

Tank's Favorite Things: "His favorite toy is the reason I bought this collar. He carries around a stuffed blue dino all the time, he uses it as a pillow when he sleeps, and he won't set it down for even a minute, he even carries it around when he is outside, just always hugging it and laying on top of it. We all laughed so hard when we put the collar on because it was so adorable to see such a massive dog in such a cute collar. " -Kali

The Mod Dog of the Month

Sorry everyone, I am so behind on this, so don't think you didn't win if it's been months since you entered.

Name: Friday

Breed: Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog)

Age: 5 Years

Collar: Subway Window

More About Friday : "She is a rescue dog. I found her online through an agency that saves dogs from high-kill shelters in the South and brings them to New England to foster them while finding their forever homes. She had been abused and was found abandoned in Tennessee. Working dogs like Cattle Dogs frequently are found in shelters, as the original owners may not have known how much constant training/jobs these the dogs need. I am a single woman who works at home (I am an artist) and thought I would be the right candidate to become her new mom and offer her a safe place to live with lots of attention and lots of room to run on my property on Cape Cod. She came to me with plenty of issues, but with love and training, she has become the most important being I have ever been lucky enough to have in my life (I even built my house just for her, going as far as to set a dedication to her in the concrete just inside the front door.)." -Jennifer

Friday's Favorite Things: Her favorite toy is an elk antler chew toy. Her favorite treat is roasted squash skin (good for her too!)
